Munich



Watched it once on the big screen , second in the comfort of my bedroom
..before I could fully comprehend the contents to the entire 164minutes thriller.

I ain't gonna give a full review of the movie since you easily retrieve them here

There's always 2 sides to a coin

The film gives an insight from a terrorists' point of view ..

We've been fed with all these political reasons explaining how terrorism is condemned ..
videos and prints and footages of how inhumane these baddies can be - car bombs, WTC and bali bombings etc..

The filmed depicted on why the terrorists fight the losing war, sacrificing own lives for the many others in search of freedom, in search of a home not ruled and influenced by other cultures.

Never ending battle ; Revenge is sweet

The Israeli assassin squad, lead by Avner (Eric Bana) kills one terrorists leader..
another stronger and vicious man sprouts out in his place..
kills many more Israeli innocents in return for revenge..
including the eventual murder of their own squad members.

You pay to locate you enemy's whereabouts.. so can they.

Think Iraq's al-qaeda leader, Zarqawi is dead ?
Think again ..

Fact vs Fiction

Life isn't a bed of roses.

Its not easy as it seems to just kill..
you don't wanna cause collateral damage ..
the bomb may cause a bigger impact than predicted, causing friendly fire

The terrorist leaders, though vicious they can be are still humans.
Fathers to a family, taking up a normal job, listening to music like we all do

The more targets they take down, the further it takes to achieving their goal.
Eventually resulting in Avner's paranoia behavior, ironically sleeping in his own closet when he previously mocked at other agents for doing the same.

***

Just like to end this with a quote from the film which I found pretty meaningful..

Sometimes, we have to make compromises with our own values - Israeli PM
